UPPER SANDUSKY — Wyandot County Commissioner Ron Metzger will face two challengers in the Republican primary in May.

Also in May, Carey and Mohawk school districts will ask voters to renew income taxes, according to the Wyandot County Board of Elections.

Tri-Rivers Joint Vocational School District, Marion, has replacement and renewal levies on the ballot. The vocational district covers seven counties, including Wyandot and Hardin.

Candidates and issues for the May primary had to be submitted to the elections board by last week.
For county commissioner, Metzger, of 11306 Township Highway 81, Forest, will face Ed Boutwell, 1500 Hilltop Court, Carey, and Robin Schuster, 505 N. Fifth St., Upper Sandusky, in the Republican primary.

Metzger, 57, was elected in November 2012 to complete an unexpired term. He was appointed to the post earlier in 2012 after Commissioner Mike Wheeler retired.

Previously, Metzger was a Richland Township trustee for 10 years and township clerk for 11 years. He is a self-employed building contractor.

Boutwell is a retired vocational agriculture teacher for Carey and Riverdale schools. He previously sought a commissioner’s seat in 2000.

Schuster is a florist in Upper Sandusky. He previously sought a commissioner’s seat in 2012.
